Bug#553569: automake1.7: invalid-standards-version 3.7.20 ..

Package: automake1.7
Version: 1.7.9-9
Severity: serious
User: lintian-maint RemoveThis @debian.org
Usertags: invalid-standards-version

The source package refers to a Standards-Version which never
existed. Please update your package to latest Policy and set this
control field appropriately.

,----[ 4.1. Standards conformance ]
| Source packages should specify the most recent version number of this
| policy document with which your package complied when it was last
| updated.
|
| This information may be used to file bug reports automatically if your
| package becomes too much out of date.
|
| The version is specified in the `Standards-Version' control field.
| The format of the `Standards-Version' field is described in Section
| 5.6.11, ``Standards-Version''.
|
| You should regularly, and especially if your package has become out of
| date, check for the newest Policy Manual available and update your
| package, if necessary. When your package complies with the new
| standards you should update the `Standards-Version' source package
| field and release it.
`----

,----[ 5.6.11. `Standards-Version' ]
| The most recent version of the standards (the policy manual and
| associated texts) with which the package complies.
`----

An invalid standards version is a violation of a Should directive in
policy, and normally would be filed as important.

Filed as serious, since a package with these files will currently get
this package rejected. See
http://lists.debian.org/debian-devel-announce/2009/10/msg00004.html
for details. This means the package has been deemed too buggy to be in
Debian.
